$ZCNF
$ZCNF. The name of the configuration utility process.
zero-signal reference. A connecting point, bus, or conductor used as one side of a signal
circuit. Such a reference object might or might not necessarily be designated as a
ground. Sometimes referred to as a common circuit.
$ZEXP. The name of the Expand manager process.
$ZMnn. The name of the QIO monitor process in processor nn.
$ZNET. The name of the Subsystem Control Point (SCP) management process.
zombie process. In the Open System Services (OSS) environment, a process that has
terminated but is still recorded in system tables.
zone. See cluster switch zone and WWN zones.
$ZPM. The name of the persistence manager process.
ZSCL. The subsystem identifier for the ServerNet cluster subsystem.
ZSERVER. The object file name of the $ZSVR server process for the labeled-tape
subsystem.
ZSMN. The subsystem identifier for the external system area network manager process
(SANMAN).
$ZSVR. The name of the server process for the labeled-tape subsystem. See also
ZSERVER
.
ZSYSCONF subvolume. The subvolume on the $SYSTEM disk that contains the system
configuration database.
$ZTC0. The default transport-provider process that provides Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) services to Open System Services (OSS)
AF_INET
sockets programs.
$ZZATM. The name of the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) monitor process.
$ZZFOX. The name of the Fiber Optic Extension (FOX) monitor process in the
ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem.
$ZZKRN. The name of the Kernel subsystem manager process.
$ZZLAN. The name of the ServerNet LAN Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem manager
process that is started by the $ZZKRN Kernel subsystem manager process and
maintained by the $ZPM persistence manager process. See also LAN manager
(LANMAN) process.
$ZZPAM. The name of the Port Access Method (PAM) manager process.
